Band 41 at the Airport  :(  :unsure:

 

 

 

 

 

Outside of South Terminal in the Cell Phone Lot.

 

Did you check engineering screen or have an app that tells if you're on Band 41?

Possible.

 

I know, I sent 2 text messages to the person, I was picking up and they didn't arrive until I was leaving the airport (about 5-7 minutes). Ill have to check the timestamps in the morning.

Sprint disappointed me last night. Everyone else with T Mobile, Verizon and ATT had service but I'm struggling. I just put my phone up because I couldn't even use it.

 

Band 26 outside but barely usable 3G on the inside.

Where were you?

 

Mav. :ninja:

 

Sent from my Sprint Nexus 6.

I've been getting some pretty shitty speeds on b26 lately in various parts of the city the last couple weeks. Screenshots coming.

 

Please do not post slow speed test screenshots.  They serve no productive purpose other than as a form of complaint, and S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.  If you think that something may be wrong with your device or service, contact Sprint.  That may not get you anywhere, but posting slow speed test screenshots here definitely will not get you anywhere.

Oh, give me a fucking break. 

 

Yep, you get a break.  It is called a two week ban for cursing at staff.

 

Come back if you like, but first read the rules, which have been provided for you.

 

Another member reported your post -- because it broke the rules.  S4GRU is not Sprint.  S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints that have dragged down several other Sprint focused sites.  And S4GRU does not host repeated slow speed tests.

Im in Brasstown, NC.  Far away from native Sprint. 

 

SignalCheck Pro said it is spotting a Sprint tower here both 1xRTT and 1x800. 

 

1471 Mason Road, Brasstown

SID: 1518, NID: 10, BID: 5249(x1481)

 

Sry, kinda lazy on posting a screen grab.

 

 

Just wondering if this might actually be a Sprint town.  Not getting EVDO from my current location.  Maybe that is a USCC tower?  I have been roaming mostly on VZW and "Digital Roaming". 

 

I'm in USCC territory and kinda disappointing that I am not using their network

SID 1518 is owned or controlled by a Washington, DC Comunications law firm Wilkinson, Barker,Knauer, LLC.    Hard to tell exactly who is using the SID, it may be USCC.  Apparently Sprint is allowing you to access the SID.

There is a tower up the road from that address, but from Google Maps it looks like it only has 1, maybe 2 carriers. One of them is in a shed, which Sprint never uses around here. I don't think either one is Sprint. However, there are several towers with 1x800 just over the GA border, so it's possible SignalCheckPro is seeing one of those and the tower location is just offset really far.

 

Maybe Sprint is adding equipment to that tower for some reason? Does SignalCheck say the provider is "Sprint"?

Your post was moved to this thread as it was deemed it didn't warrant its own topic. Why did it end up here? The Northern Georgia sites within the Atlanta market near the North Carolina border are the closes Sprint sites to Brasstown.

SID 1518 said " Sprint" in SignslCheck, but had the roaming icon.

I did pick up another, SID 22437, that said Sprint and had the 3G icon. That was 1x800 at -102dBm.

Oh wow, this is great to hear.  Atlanta service is damn near perfect as it is, now this?

    • Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!
    • I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip
    • Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]
    • Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
